grnflwaum ItatrtUfletwr. E. li. MURRAYS Editor. THURSDA Y, JULY 3, ins j ~ TERMS : ONK YEAR.?1.00. SIX MONTHS. 7Sc. Two Wollar, li uol paid tn wUaPC*. IX) MOT FAIL TO IIEC1STKU. Next Monday is thc day upon which persona who have removed to this Mate siuce thc last election, and those who have become twenty-one years "? age since that time, eau register. Those who do not register cannot vote. It is, there fore, important for every one to register, and all ?ucl? persons who have heretofore neglected to register ought not lo neglect it on next Monday. If they do, il will be equivalent toa voluntary disfranchise? mont. Teil your neighbors and friend* of this, and see to it that all Democrats who have removed into thc .Stale since 1882, and all young men who have at tained twenty-one yean of agc since tho lost general election, to come to tho Court House on next Monday, (Sales day,) nnd secure their registration certifi cates. Thc Democratic National Convention, which meets in Chicago on next Tuesday, owes it to the country and to its own self-respect to pay no moro attention to John Kelly and his henchmen than to any other member of tho Convention. Thc repeated efforts to conciliate him have disgusted the country and demor alized tho party, for it i* far from in Hpiriting to sec a great national party truckling to a single political trader, who ha? repeatedly thwarted and deceived them. Kelly is no credit to the Demo cratic party, and the better portions of thc organization have long felt humilia ted nt tho attitui... which has been as sumed towards him. It is neither good principle nor good policy to continue longer tocoiiHult tho preferences of such aman. Wo believe the time has come to retire Mr. Kelly. We can get along better by fighting bim than by keeping him in apparent accord with us, whereby he has the opportunity lo sell us out and provo treacherous to the party. If hu is discarded by the party his treasons will not he so damaging or influential in dc tcrmiiiiug the results of elections. Hy a proper fight wo believe thnt Governor Cleveland con bo elected without John Kelly. At least we are satisfied that he will bo stronger without him than nny other man we can nominate will bo with him. Therefore, we favor nominating Cleveland and Hoadley, John Kelly to tho conlrury notwithstanding. DKMOCHATJO STATE CONVENTION. Tho Democratic Stato Convention, which met in Columbia last Thursday, . .H as harmonious nnd ns intelligent n body ns lins assembled io South Carulinn ??nco thu war. It did its work quickly, lind with remarkably little dehnte. Looking back upon it we see nothing in ita notion to criticise but everything to commend. Its purposes were high nnd patriotic. Its action was wise and pru dent, Thero wa.? no bitterness, and comparatively little difference of opinion. The most marked acts of tho body were its unqualified refusal to instruct its delegates to Chicago, or in ary way hamper them by tho expression cf no opinion upon the National cairns*, manifesting clearly a desire that thc delegates should consult and act for tho best interest of tho Democrat ic party in making tho nomination foi IV '-?eut and Vice-Presidont ; its determination to nominate n Stato ticket which, though not unanimous, was so emphatic and overwhelming, yet mani fested in such good temper that tho mi nority could only smilingly submit and join in tho u nani mou :i and enthusiastic re nomination of tho present Stnto ticket ; rmi last but not least, wc regard tho al most unanimous adoption of Hie pint form without debato as a good day's work. It shows that tho pnrty in South Carolina has taken no step backward. It favors honest government, civil service reform, competent officers, just and equal laws, public education, national aid to our Ooi?mO'n schools, opposition to political assessments, tariff reform, tho abolition of the Internal Revenue as soon as possi ble, tho preservation of the public credit, and the abolition ot sectionalism, and the restoration of peace and prosperity to tho Union. This is a platform broad enough and strong enough for all the liberal-minded citizens of South Carolina to meet upon and help maintain the supremacy of thc party which has formulated it. Tho Convention was in session only about nlnO hours, and we hazard nothing in aayiug . that never before was so much work BO well done by a similar political body in Sooth Carolina in the same length of time. -< On Friday last while the railroad hands were throwing out tho dirt for the roadbed for tho extension of the Raleigh and Augusta Railroad, near Hamlet, N, C., they unearthed a human skeleton that was afterwards identified as that of a Yankee soldier who was buried there nineteen years ago. The skeleton was in a perfect state of preservation and was .wrapped in a blanket tbat> was also well preserved, A* the skeleton waa lifted up a watch rattled against the ribs. The watch was picked up and examined and .found tb be io good running order, not withstanding- its long rest in the grave.1 The body of the soldier was wrapped in a new mantle and again committed to tho earth ia a spot near its former gravo. -N?*X* and Courier. , / - Yesterday Mr. Oharies Al Meynar-: die, son of Rev. & G. Meynardie and formerly a resident of this city, met with a shocking and probably fatal accident on tho Port Royal and Augusta Railroad. He took the up trafst Varaville, and on leaving tho tra? at Allendale, he missed his footing on tho station platform ana fell, when his legs were thrown be neath the train. Tho wheels passed over ?One leg crushing the bones, and the other - alfa* to badly injured that amputation , will bs necessary. Tho unfortunate ?oung^an will lose both bis legs and probably his life,--Register, , , ?---*J.--: - A young man'lo Somerset County/ "Md., recently shot himself in tho hand, and when asked by the; doctor how he ?ame to do it said:' "I baden old cart ridgo in my revolver on. which I*had* enapbed twenty ?mea without exploding - Afc.: J.said: to myself, 'I bet if I point *J?f?( ?Volver at my finger this blamed cartridge xviii go off.'

At 8 o'clock tho Convention took n re .ess until 5 p. m. KV KN I NU SKS.SION. When Ihe Convention assembled at lalf-past 5 o'clock nearly every delegate ?vas in his seat. Gen. Kennedy, Irom he coin m i lice ou resolutions, reported hat the committee had been evenly di vided ou the adoption of the resolution ?flered by Cen. Hagood ; that the dele gation from South Carolina to the Na ional Convention be instructed to vote ts a unit in the ballotings for President md Vice President. Messrs. J. D. Ken icdy, J. W. Summers, J. C. Haskell, C. S. McCall, J. W. Williamson, H. D. Elliott and E. O. Hall, of tho com riittee, were in favor of the resolution, ind Messrs. G. L. Buist, D. 8. Hender, on, R. G. Bonham, B. F. Whittier, W. 2. Benet, J. L. Orr and S. J. Patterson vere opposed to it. A motion was made that the resolution >o adopted, and Gen. Hagood took tho loor to explain his motives for ofTering t. As be understood it the South Cam ina Democracy were not for any part icu nr mnn at Chicago, but in fnvor of the nost available candidate, but if it should ie Bayard, he said, we shall all be very nuch pleased. Good men had beeu ilected to reoresent tho Suite at Chicago, ind tho Convention was perfectly willing o trust to them to do the best thing for ho party. May bi there might bc a man imong the delega L s who was for Bayard irst, last and ail the time, or for Cleve and, or McDonald, or Carlisle, aud if here was such a ouo he would not rep ?rent the Democracy of the State if he hould go against the judgment and rishes of tho majority of the delegation.' Cho resolution was intended to assure tho olid vote of tho State for?the Democracy. Io was not willing that any extremist hould represent him. Maj. Buist opposed the resolution. Io thought ita adoption would be be leath tho dignity of the party and out >( harmony with all its traditions. He trough- urged the Convention that the idoption of tho resolution would be un ?Ue nod impolitic, and would throttle ho free exercise of the judgment of the lelegates. There was no Tammany nail n South Carolina. We bad a population ind representatives that we could rely m. If it was the sentiment of the National Convention to nominate Gro cer Cleveland all the delegation would rote for him without any unit rule. Col. John C. Haskell favored the res ilution. It had been prepared before a ingle delegate had been elected and he VAS convinced, after twelve hours' calc ul consideration, that it was tho duty of bo delegation at Chicago to vote togeth T so a i to carry the strength of eighteen rotes sod not fritter away the vote of the State by dividing it up so that one party vould neutralize the other and really leprive the State of her proper place in he Convention. Mr. Isaac M. Bryon, of Greenville, avorcd the resolution in a strong speech. Capt. J. Ancrum Simons, of Charles on, opposed it. " Capt George D. Bryan created a de rided sensation by proposing an amend neut declaring that the unit rule should prevail and that the delegation to Jhl cago should vote as a unit for Oro V?T Cleveland. Mr. J. H. Giles, of Aiken, moved .hat tho whole matter be laid on the abm, which was adopted amidst great ipplause from those wno were the friends >t Cleveland. Tho committee on resolutions in regard o a number of resolutions that had been ntroduced at the morning session report ed that .ne resolutions wero able ona in -trudi ve, but that they had such con fi - lenee In the patriotism and good judg neut, of the delegates elected to represent .hera in the National Convention that they recommended that the delegates mould not be hampered by resolutions sf a quasi authoritative nature.: They recommended that, the resolutions be abled, which was accordingly done. Mr. Southall, of Aiken, .moved that; ;ho Convention go into 'the nomination' for State officers. /Mr. Karlo, of Sumter, thought that it ivould be unwise for the Convention to consider this, subject nt this time. A ?reat majority of the Counties had either! instructed their delegates not to go into aorainatlons or had expressed , the belief that it would be unwise to do ic. There wan nothing ngai nat the present of beer?, ?rid he hoped that they would all be Dominated. There was no haste for iori\itt?Uoos now. A largo majority of ihr. people fdr some reason were opposed A> such a course. Mr. J. F. Davis strongly ' urged nomi-, ?ations without delay, and Mr. C. S. Barber' th s humorous speech declared! for Hugh: 8. Thompson, and the party, saying that although ho waa instructed bo did dot know but it would be beet to .; . ;.v:; ,tuyi-::-t. ' t. r^w tit i 1 make the nominations. The question was thcu taken by a ri-ing vote for nom inations at once. " The motion was agreed to, 100 against 90. Thc entire Anderson delega'ion voted against nominations. The Hon. I). S. Henderson, of Aiken, moved that tho present State ofiicers, Governor Thompson and ali the rest of bis associ?tes, be nominated by acclama tion for re-election. Mr. ?.. S. Harber cordially seconded thc nomination, and without a dissenting voice, amidst a storm of applause, the motion prevailed and the obi ticket was renominated. Gen. Kennedy moved that a commit ie of three be appointed to wait on ??over nor Thompson and escort him to the hall. Gen. Kennedy, (Jen. liagood and Mr. Benet were appointed. Mr. Moody moved that thc committee also inform Mr. Sheppard of his renomi nation, ami Col. Haskell moved that the whole ticket be brought in. Both mo tions were adopted. The Convention then went into an election for electors at large. Col. J. lt. Orr nominated Mr. Isaac M. Bryan, of ('reenville, as peculiarly fitted for this high oflice, and Mr. Henderson eloquently seconded the choice of one of the favorite sons of Grtenvillc as so identified with South Carolina by lineage, by birth and by every interest ns to do honor to tho Slate in the position of elec tor. Mr. Muuldin, of Greenville, nominated Col. J. C. Haskell, of Richland. He characterized Col. Haskell as a gentle man identified with the history of the State, whose election would rellect houor on the Convention and be peculiarly gratifying to that large section of the State from which the white votes would come which were to elect the nominees of th?! Democratic pHrty. Tho following nominations weru then made for electors from the several dis tricts : Mr. A. S. J. Perry nominated Gen. B. II. Kutlcdgo, of Charleston, for the First District. Mr. C. J. C. Hutson nominated Gen. Johnson Hagood, of Barnwell, for the Second District. Mr. B. F. Whittier norniuated W. C. Benet, of Abbeville, for Lhc Third Dis trict. Mr. Janies L. Orr .?Giniiui?ed J?hi\ F. Bacon, of Richland, for the Fourth Dis trict. Mr. W. J. Montgomery nominated Mr. W. L. T. Prince, of Chesterfield, for l" Fifih District. Hon. J. L. Manning, of Clarendon, w: ? nominated for tho Sixth District. Mr. Gilland nominated J. D. Blanding, of Sumter, for the Seventh District. Mr. ?lurray moved that a committee of ten e appointed to prepare a platform for the Democratic party of South Caro lina. Col. Rion moved to amend by authorizing the executive commitlee to prepare a platform. Mr. Murray snid that there was a manifest disposition on the part of mem bers to gel away. Important interests which the people had intrusted to their delegates were about to bo put in jeop ardy by this disposition, and ho hoped that the Convention would determine to remain long enough to do the work which belonged to them. Col. Riou's amendment was voted down sud Mr. Murray's motion adopted by a large vote. On motioti of Mr. Henderson a recess was taken until 8 o'clock to enable the committee on plntform to prepnre their report. Thc Chair announced tho following as tho commitlee: Messrs. Murraj', lionet, Orr, Dawson, Livingston, Croft, Mont gomery, Izlar, Hutson and Kennedy. On reassembling the Chair statca that he had the pleasure of announcing that by tho foresight of Capt. Dawson quar ters hnd been secured for the South Carolina delegation at the Matterson Hotel in Chicago, within one square of the placo of meeting ot the Convention, at three dollars per day, and also an apartment as headquarters of the Nation al Democratic Committee. The committee to inform the Gover nor and nominees on the State ticket entered the Convention escorting Gover nor Thompson, Lieutenant-Governor Sheppard and the other State officers, and they were presented to the Conven tion by President Simonton. As tho Governor entered the baii every mau sprang to his feet, and, standing in respectful silence until he bad ascended the Speaker's stand, greeted him with a perfect storm of applause, It was a proud moment for Hugh Thompson. lu a few felicitous remarles President Simontou presented the Governor to tho Convention. GOVEIlNOn THOMPSON said : Mr. President and gentlemen of the Convention, in responso to thc noti fication given through your committee I appear before you to accept a renomina tion for the office of Governor of South Carolina. It is with no mero form of worda that I express my profound grati tude for this mark of the confidence of tho Democratic party of this State. Two years ago at your call I accepted the nomination to thia high office. The people at the polls ratified your choice. Willi sincere distrust of my own abilities for the work before mo, I entered a new and to mo an untried field. How far short I have fallen of the requirements of this high office, no one can know so well as myself. Believing that all offices are public trusts, to be discharged for the benefit of the whole people, without regard to party, I have endeavored in tho performance of my duty to keep that end always in view. This unanimous renomination, which is tho surest guar antee of your approval of my efforts, adds another high incentive to the faith ful discharge of the duties of the Chief Msgistrate of South Carolins. I shall not presume to interrupt your labors, not yet completed, with any extended remarks at this time. In the coming canvass I hopo to meet many of our fellow-citizens, and to be permitted to take part in the discussion of the momentous issues now before the country. In the earnestness and harmony which have marked your deliberations is to be seen the best evi dence that the importance of those is sues is ever present to your minds. With na in South Carolina it is not a mere party ascendancy, but it ia a question of the maintenance of Republican Institu tions. Tho just and impartial adminis tration of equal justice, economy and honesty in . the management of public affairs, private security and public safety -in a word, all that is implied in good Government, depends upon the continu ance in power in South Carolina of the Democratic party. It is for this reason that we have resolved, with an earnest* uees which ebows the strength of our determination, that never again shall ignorance and corruption hold sway among ua-that nover again abell the alien and the adventurer rule in South Carolina.. This resolve but increases our responsibility to discharge our duties with firmness, moderation, prudence and justice, animated by the pplrit of enlight ened progress. But it ia not alone for our righ'. ns South Carolinians that wo must strive in tho approaching canvass. The two great political parties of the county are again preparing for the eon* teat ?rr National supremacy. . The Re publican ??arty has chosen its leaders and announced ila platform. With these leader*, standing upon that platform, they sro preparing to join battle frith tho forces of tho Democracy. If victory should be theirs, woof the Booth know what to expect. But I belia vc that again the hour for Democratic victory baa come. IT the, Convention noon to meet, nt Chicago shall choose f&> our leaders uien whose public records are as pore as I their pr?valo Uvea ts:o stainless, and shall I adopt a platform reaffirming ia tmtmV I takablo language the tima-honored p'rin ciples of the Democratic party, thc result in November will not he doubtful. Hut this result cannot bo complete for us if South Carolina is not found on the roll of th<? States which send their electors to join in tho grand pa>onB which will bc Bung in honor of Democratic victory. With DO purpose to chill your enthusi asm, but with an earnest desire lo point you to your duty and to warn you of our common danger, let me impress upon you the importance of earnest, persistent and united effort which alono can enable us to accomplish this result. Hy all the love I bear to South Carolin?, by nil the gratitude I feel for tlie high honor-* which -he has conferred upon me, I pledge that all of the ouergy and ability which I possess shall be devoted to the grand consummation for which every patriot within her borders so devoutly wishes the maintenance of homo rule and the restoration to power of th? National Democratic party. Governor Thompson was frequently applauded and the enthusiasm was most intense. LIEU I" EN AN r-OOVEBNOB SHEPHARD returned his grateful acknowledgments for the confidence expressed by tho vote of the Convention in the fidelity with w hich their chosen officers had endeavor ed to discharge their trusts. SECRETA BY J. N. LIPSCOMB said that, while the action of the Con vention bad justified the grateful terms of thanks which had been expressed by tiie Governor and Lieutenant Governor, circumstances made the nominations peculiarly grateful to him Ile would enter the canvass with a determination to light the foes jf Democracy wherever they should show themselves, and would pledge himself to return to his beloved State a tull ?quivalent in devoted servite for the honor and salary which would come to him from his office. Vociferous calls rung fruin all part? of the Convention lor Youtnans, and as soon as quiet prevailed the HON. LEBOY P. YOEMANS took the rostrum and for about fifteeu minutes held the Convention in breath less attention by one of his most brilliant efforts, evoking from first to last frequent bursts of applause. CAPT.

Mr. Murray, from the committee on fdatform, reported the platform as fol ows : The Democratic party of South Caro lina iu State Convention assembled, re affirming the principles and declinations contained in the Statt platforms hereto fore adopted, and declaring their contin ued devotion to the principles of the National Democratic party, declare the following principles r_s formulating the policy of the South Carolina Democracy in State aud Federal affairs and invito the aid and support of all good citizens in carrying them into effect : First. W?3C and just legislation, the impartial administration of equal laws, economy with efficiency in every depart ment of the State Government. Second. Popular education is the bulwark of free institutions. Liberal appropriations for the public Bcbools for the whole people. Third. The systematic efforts of the Republican party to obstruct reform and destroy good government in South Caro lina by turning to partisan purposes the appointing power of the Federal Govern ment is a standing menace to the people of this State, and a growing danger to good citizens in every partof the Union. The Federal offices in this State ITO made fiolitical infirmaries and training sobools br the defeat of honest government in South Carolina. Fourth. Honest home rule. The Democracy bf South Carolina, represent ing the taxpayers of tho State and a majority of the whole people, invite and have the right to expect the syr-patby and support of their fellow-countrymen in their Btrenuous efforts to preserve an intelligent and equal administration of the Government. Fifth. The extension of tho franchise as a political result of the war has en larged enormously tho uumber of present and prospective voters requiring educa tion tn the public schools. The burden was increased while tho ability of the Stale to bear it wa? diminished. The Federal Government, by liberal appro priations from the treasury, on the basis of illiteracy, to be disbursed by the Slate officer in charge of the public school systems of the States, should help the Southern States to cure th s evil of non intelligent suffrage,*' Sixth. Civil service reform, appoint ments to minor offices under tests that will indicate the qualifications of the applicant, promotion by merit, st fixed tenure of office and no removals except for cause. Seventh. Blackmailing pnblio servants under the guise of political assessments cou verta tho public treasury, to the extent of tho contributions called' fot, into a campaign fund for the advancement of a political party, thus buting the whole people for partis?il purposes. Eighth. The present protective tariff taxes the many for tho benefit of tho few. The duties on importa should bo decreaa : ed, and a? early repeal of tho duty on cotton ties; on the machinery used in the manufacture of cotton and wool and on tools and agricultural implement will stimulate manufacturera und bo a wel come relief to tho farmer aud laborer. Ninth. It is most desirable that the internal ic vp n uc taxation bo abolished aa soon aa this can be accomplished without rendering permanent tho exist ing Protective system. Blgrd economy in the conduct ot tho Government -trill hasten tho day when the tariff shall bo*? modernte as in the early day? of the Republic, and the army ot ollice holders employed under thc internal revcuuo law* be disbauded. Tenth. The public credit, National and State, must be maintained. Eleventh. In tho conduct or affairs iu this State thc Democracy have been actuated by one desire, and that ia to promote the greatest good of the State. Democratic uuity is public safety and private security. , Twelfth. lu the present condition of j politic:?! uflaira the people of the I'nited States have the opportunity by electing a Democratic President to ensure to the whole 1'ilion the reform of abuses, the purification of the public service and peace and good will throughout the land. Helving itnplicily on the wisdom and patriotism of the' National Democratic Convention which will asr-erable in Chi cago on July 8, we pledge to the nomi nees of tho party, there to be chosen, our hearty, united uod individual support. Thirteenth. lu the State, justice and equalitv for all to ensure harmony and good will between the races. In the Union, no sectionalism, in policy or feel ing, an indissoluble uuion of indestruc tible States, one flag, one country, one destiny. Mr.'Giles, of Aiken, moved to consider the platform by sections. Mr. Murray moved to lay that motion on the table and take it up as a whole, which was agreed to and thc platform adopted with a few votes in the negative. On motion of Mr. Henderson, of Aik en, the Convention went into committee of the whole. Col. John C. Haskell in the chair. It was resolved "that the thanks of the Convention are due and are hereby tendered to Hon. Charles H. Simonton for thc ability, efficiency and courtesy with which he has presided over its deliberations, and nlso to the secreta j ries for the prompt and ablo discharge of their duties." Col. Haskell briefly submitted the ac tiou of the Convention to President Simonton, who responded in his usual happy manner, complimenting tho body for the dignified, prompt and effective mauuer iu which they had fulfilled the important trusts committed to them by tho people of tho State. At 0.40 p. m. tho Convention had finished its business aud adjourned. A Runaway Train. LYNCHBURG. VA.

It is not known to whom the ring formerly belonged ; Mr. Nelson and family have lived on the place four years, and it wa3 not lost by any of them. It i* pure gold, and when found was perfectly bright. -Newberry Observer. - The Keowee Courier says: "Mr. Thomas Watkins, and old citizen of our Couuty, between 80 and 00 years of age, died on Monday, the lGib instant.
